Giants Stomp Out Cowboys - Face Eagles

Once again not much to say, which is a good thing. Very methodically the Giants just keep doing what needs to be done. The Steelers game was a "statement game", a season defining game - a game in which this Giants team showed that they were the more physically dominant of the two teams. They then followed that up one week later by stomping on the Cowboys collective throats. A cowboy team, weakened by injury, especially at QB, was simply no match. I'm sure Dallas players and fans are trying to convince themselves it would have been different had Tony Romo played and certainly that is true. The Cowboys would have been a stronger team. But Dallas would only be deluding themselves if they truly believe they would have been the better team with Romo. That is clearly not true. All that can be said is that Dallas would have been more competitive with Romo than without.

This Giants team is a very good team. Much has been said about their monster schedule over the final 10 games. And it is true - based upon won/loss records of opponents, the Giants have the most difficult final 10 games (now 8) in the entire league. And they are going to lose some of those games - it is highly unlikely they will go 15-1.

But what makes it clear just how good this Giant's team really is, nobody can look at that schedule and honestly say which games will result in losses. Which will end up being the 2 or 3 remaining games the Giants lose? This team can (should) win all of them. So, yes, because the old phrase "on any given Sunday" remains true (this is, after all, a game played with a weirdly shaped bouncing ball), the Giants almost certainly will lose a few of their remaining games. But they are so good I can't look at any game on the schedule and say "it's a loss".

Today's game against the Eagles is going to be very tough. First of all it's the Eagles. Add to that it is in their building, they are on a roll, McNabb is playing the best football of his career, they are basically healthy, they have this kid Jackson who is a game changer, yet, I can't say this is a loss. It is simply another tough football game that will be determined by the ebb/flow of the game. The Giants may lose but if they do, it won't be because they aren't good enough. Far from it. This is the most solid Giants team since 1985/1986 and in the best position to win back-to-back championships of any team in Giants history.
